I like Crystal Jade mostly because they are consistent with their food quality. :)
ReplyDeleteIn the first picture, what is in the bottom lefthand quadrant? (It looks like a bowl of little brown beans? Peanuts?)
ReplyDeleteI still can't get over cutting food with scissors. It always makes me giggle!
The noodle dish looks so yummy! I wish I could have a bowl right now. :)
ReplyDeletelife for beginners: ah.. I wonder why I don't feel the food quality is consistent here ;)
ReplyDeletemica: yes, it's braised peanuts (salt and anise), yummy :)
sook: it's nice to have a bowl of la mian especially on a cold day :)
Mmm... the noodle soups sound especially good right now!
ReplyDelete5 star foodie: Oh... :)
ReplyDeleteI fthat noodles serve to me
ReplyDeleteI don't want to cut it......
I love to slurp that noodles in original way.
pisang goreng: slurping long noodle can be pretty fun, I do it when I'm at home, not in a restaurant ;D
ReplyDeleteCrystal Jade is a very nice restaurant. Had it in Hong Kong (same type, Xiao Long Bao and La Mian) and it was very good! Very tasty. It always seems to be like old food tastes better than the new food as people keep adding items we don't need to eat like food coloring or such.
ReplyDeleteeattraveleat: totally agreed with you :)
ReplyDeleteO I have been here with my relatives, but don't really remember what I ate, just that the ambience was good.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice restaurant. love Dan Dan noodles. mmm!
ReplyDeleteI have also tried the Crystal Jade in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteErrr....I thought we are not supposed to cut Chinese noodles? Having said that, sometimes I do so at home *guilty*
laveena: Yes.. The ambiance in this restaurant is nice :)
ReplyDeletemonica h: The Dan Dan noodles is very hot :)
tigerfish: Oh... I didn't know that Chinese noodles supposedly not be cut. Learn something new today :)
Now i'm craving for noodles! So u prefer the food baack then (hw many yrs ago)?
ReplyDeleteSelba,
ReplyDeleteAre the old mom & pop noodle houses still in operation? I'm talking about Bakmi Gang Klinci, Mie Krekot etc...

I love crystal jade! it's been a while since I had their la mien.
ReplyDeleteTNG: How many years? *counting with hand fingers* Uhmmm... *adding with feet fingers* Oh... more than 15 years??? hehehe..
ReplyDeletetuty: Yes.. yes... But their taste are not as nice as the old days, except for Bakmi Gajah Mada which is still the top bakmi and got a lot of branches in Jakarta ;)
noobcook: so.. it''s time to visit Crystal Jade then ;)
I love my ramen long ....:D
ReplyDeleteemail2me: next time, I'll make sure not to get my noodles cut :D
ReplyDeletehuhu...I had a not so pleasant experience there.
ReplyDeleteI just had lunch somewhere else and I came there to meet up with my parents who were already eating there. I wasn't going to eat again, I just went to sit & talk w my parents. of course, I had iced coffee with me that I've bought earlier.
So I went inside with my cup of iced coffee.
A waiter asked me if I wanted to order anything, I said no.
Then he told me "not to bring food/drinks inside" I said I wasn't gonna eat, I'm here to meet with my parents. and I saw a supervisor/manager and I lifted my cup and smiled at her to let her know "I've got coffee it's fine right?" she nodded and smiled back.
then after a while another waiter approached me and said "no outside food/drinks allowed"
oh man....
So a total of 3 waiters came up to me.
almost 4, the fourth one was saying "next time, don't..." but was told not to by his manager.
I know restaurants have rules.... but that totally made us feel so uncomfortable.
oh well....
glad u enjoyed ur food there, tho :)
healthyrainbow: Ah.. sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience in this restaurant. I bet it's pretty annoying to be reminded not to bring food/drink for many times.
ReplyDeleteselby - your photos are fantastic!
ReplyDeletepearl: thank you for your compliments, Pearl :)
ReplyDeleteThe Soup Noodle with Beijing Dumplings looks really nice, sounds like a nice resturant.
ReplyDeletexxx DJ
DJ: It is a nice restaurant indeed ;)
ReplyDeleteIt would be better if the black sesame filling is more :P
ReplyDeletemimid3vils: hehehe... absolutely!!! More filling.. more yummy :D
ReplyDeletei think crystal jade is one of my favourite la mian restaurants because the food is refined. i like the dan dan mian as well. lovely peanut taste! i usually add a dash of black vinegar for that extra flavour. ;)
ReplyDeletehairyberry: black vinegar? me too.. me too.. love it with black vinegar :D
ReplyDeleteHi Selba! So long never dropped by. I have yet to taste Malaysia's Crystal Jade outlets even. :)
ReplyDeletej2kfm: Yeah.. long time!!! Hehehe... Oh, give it a try then :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the best noodle dishes I've ever had: The Sichuan Style La Mian.
ReplyDeletekaren kawilarang: thanks for dropping by :) I also love the La Mian from Crystal Jade.
